Sacred Stitch Talisman

Discover the art of free-form embroidery and embellishment in this immersive workshop with artist Aitor Saraiba. Students will create their own textile “escapulario” or talisman, a piece designed to be personal and expressive. Aitor encourages intuitive stitching and experimentation, focusing on rhythm, texture, and creativity rather than strict patterns. Throughout the session, students will explore stitching techniques that allow for spontaneity, letting personal style guide the design. By the end of the workshop, each participant will leave with a completed talisman, a tangible result of their creative journey, and the experience of having stitched in a supportive, relaxed environment under the guidance of the artist himself.
